FEB 25, submitted palindromes, RANDOM PILES 50

 You have reached the "Submitted Palindromes" thread on the blog "Daily Illustrated Nonsense", a light literary entity. Owing to advancing age and other considerations, the frequency of outpouring, 30 posts per month for the first 60 months, has been reduced stepwise after December 2024 and now numbers 10 per month. But each month you can still find a collection of palindromic phrases proferred by our seven palindromic assistant editors.

You can access this delightful entertainment right here by entering submitted palindromes in a search bar at the top of this post and scrolling downwards through the wordplay posts that you will discover.

Devotees of palindromic wordplay can further explore limericks and other short verses about the classic palindromes (and quite a few recent concoctions) that are randomly scattered on this blog after September 2000, or collected into grouped postings on our more scholarly blog "Edifying Nonsense" -- start HERE.

FEB 16, mammalian wildlife: raccoons in the city

urban resident,
visiting Toronto's  Allan Garden Conservatory

Authors' Note: In the last century, raccoons have readapted themselves as urban denizens, often relatively unnoticed, but sometimes disturbing their neighbours. And be sure to review our subsequent illustrated poem with respect to their role as nest robbers.
